COMPOUND FAUCET FOR FLUIDS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 697,739, dated April15, 1 902.

Application filed July 2 1 9 01 To ctZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CRISTOBAL GARCIA Loreonnr Y MURRIETA, Viscount de laVega, a subject of the King of Spain, residing at No. 23 Oalle SanMiguel, Madrid, Spain, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Compound Faucets for Fluids, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to faucets or cocks IQ for controlling the flowof fluids; and it has for its object a cook or faucet adapted to supplyfrom one outlet fluids of different kinds or dilferent temperatures ordifferent mixtures of fluidsas, for example, mixtures of hot and coldwater proportioned in such a manner as to produce water of theparticular temperature desired. The device may also be employed tosupply a liquid and a gas in certain desired proportions.

In the accompanying drawings the faucetis represented in cross-section,the views showing the rotatable plug thereof in various positions withrespect to the supply-inlets and delivery-outlet. V

In the drawings, Figure 1 shows the port in the plug open unequally tothe inlets. Fig. 2 shows the said port open about equally to the inlets.Fig. 3 shows one inlet nearly cut off. Fig. 4 showsthe other inlet cutoff. Figs. 3c 5 and 6 show the plug reversed with the narrow end of theport presented to the inlets and the Wider to the outlet.

In the figures, R designates the body of the cook or faucet; O and F,the respective inlets for supplying fluids; T, the common outlet; O, therotatable plug, and P the port in the plug, which is wider at one endthan at the other. The wider end of the port is designated by p and thenarrower end by 19'. 0 There is a space between the inlets O and F,(designated by R,) and this space will be, as seen in Figs. 5' and 6, alittle narrower than the narrower end of the port P. The wider end ofthe said port may equal, as seen in Fig. 4-, the space R plus the widthof one of the inlets O or F.

If we suppose that the inlet 0 supplies hot water and the inlet F coldwater, by setting the plug 0 as seen in Fig. 1 tepid water may SerialNo. 69,134. (No model.)

be drawn at the outlet T. If turned or set to the position seen in Fig.2, equal parts of hot and cold water mixed will be supplied. Fig. 3shows the cold-water inlet nearly cut off, so that practically only hotwater is drawn, and Fig. 4 shows how cold water alone may be drawn. Byreversing the plug 0, as seen in Figs. 5 and 6, the narrower end p ofthe port P will be presented to the inlets and only small quantities ofthe liquids will be supplied. The port P will always be open to thedelivery outlet when supplied from either or both of the inlets, andobviously the supply may be wholly cut off by turning the plug 0 untilthe inlets connect with neither end of the port. As the port P is aswide as one of the said inlets C or F at its narrower end 19 and as wideas one of said inlets plus the space R at its wider end 79, it willalways sup ply when the wider end of the port is presented to the inletor inlets the full amount furnished by a single inlet, and if taken fromboth one inlet will supply what the otherlacks.

In case a liquid be supplied under a head or pressure at one of theinlets and a gas as air, for exampleat the other inlet the liquid willcarry the gas with it by suction and supply the mixture at-T.

I am aware that it is not new to provide a faucet for drawing either oneof two fluids through the same plug, and this I do not broadly claim. Myconstruction provides for drawing a mixture of two fluids through asingle port in a plug and with the capability of varying the proportionsand the quantity of the fluids drawn.

Having thus described my invention, I claim 1-. A compound cook orfaucet comprising a casin g having an outlet, and two inlets with aspace between them'situated opposite to the outlet, and a plug having init a transverse port wider at one end than the other, the lesser end ofsaid port being of greater width than the space between the inlets andof less width than said space plus the width of one of said inlets.

2. A compound cook or faucet comprising a casing with two inlets and acommon outlet, and a. rotatable plug having a port which my name, in thepresence of two subscribing iswider at one end than at the other, thewitnesses, this 5th day of J nly, 1901. wider end of said port beingsubstantially qu in Width toone inlet p the Space ORISTOBAL GARCIALOYGORRI Y MURRIETA. 5 tween the inlets, and its narrower end sub-WVitnesses:
